Jack Brierley (1911–1984) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s.
A local junior from the Bexley junior rugby league football club, Brierley was graded in 1929 and went on to play a further six seasons with the St. George club before retiring in the lower grades in 1937.[2] He is remembered as a slight, but tenacious Lock Forward. He later enjoyed a long association with the Bexley Golf Club. [3]
Brierley died on 26 August 1984, 26 days short of his 73rd birthday. [4]
